Differential Expression Analysis using an Unlabelled Approach and a New Software for Relative Quantification of LC-MS Data

Introduction

DeCyder™ MS Differential Analysis Software (DeCyder MS) is a new tool for visualization, detection, identification and label-free relative quantification of LC-MS and LC-MS/MS data. To Assess its quantification abilities, in a complex background, total soluble trypsin digested proteins extracts from strains of E.coli expressing varying levels of dihydrofolate reducatase (DHFR) were analysed using nanoLC-MS/MS. Full scan MS spectra were matched and quantified using DeCyder MS. A second experiment was performed on a bacterial strain containing an inducible integrase.

Concern about the safety of food products has increased dramatically with intentionally and non-intentionally added substances (NIAS) used in packaging being of particular interest. APGC and high resolution MS together with a workflow driven process was used to identify unknown compounds in packaging.

Recently, there have been increases in freshwater harmful algal blooms. There is therefore a need to try and effectively detoxify drinking water contaminated with cyanotoxins to safeguard human health by use of new and novel techniques.

Early life stress (ELS) is highly associated with development of psychopathologyand mood disorders in adulthood. Genetic studies have identified variation in the gene calcium voltage-gated channel subunit alpha1C (CACNA1C) to increase risk for several psychiatric disorders. This poster assessed the expression of Cacna1c following prepubertal stress.
